The distance between Hanan and I depends on what gauge you use to measure it. In terms of physical distance, 10 miles separate us. In terms of occupation distance, she is two checkpoints away.Thu, 08 Aug 2002 12:10:24 +0000Catherine Cook3872 at https://electronicintifada.nethttps://electronicintifada.net/content/distance-between-hanan-and-i/3872#commentsAll in a Day's Workhttps://electronicintifada.net/content/all-days-work/3848
Today was an exciting day. My colleague from work made it into the office from his home in Dheishe refugee camp. The atmosphere in the office was one of celebration, rightly so.Thu, 08 Aug 2002 08:33:21 +0000Catherine Cook3848 at https://electronicintifada.nethttps://electronicintifada.net/content/all-days-work/3848#comments'Independence' day: the view from Ramallahhttps://electronicintifada.net/content/independence-day-view-ramallah/3788
How ironic is it that the only 'democracy' in the Middle East, places the residents of its 'eternal capital' under curfew for an undetermined period of time, while it celebrates its glorious 54th anniversary as a state?Mon, 05 Aug 2002 10:06:37 +0000Adam Hanieh3788 at https://electronicintifada.netCatherine Cookhttps://electronicintifada.net/content/independence-day-view-ramallah/3788#comments'If I believed in hell, this would be it'https://electronicintifada.net/content/if-i-believed-hell-would-be-it/3756
Day sixteen of the siege. The phone and this internet connection are my keys to the outside world. They are my grasp on sanity at this point. My body aches from lack of movement and my soul aches from so many images of carnage and destruction.Sat, 03 Aug 2002 09:11:45 +0000Catherine Cook3756 at https://electronicintifada.nethttps://electronicintifada.net/content/if-i-believed-hell-would-be-it/3756#commentsToo many images to process nowhttps://electronicintifada.net/content/too-many-images-process-now/3633
It has been about two hours since my electricity came back on. The electricity to my neighborhood was cut around 9:30am on Friday. Since then, I have relied on word of mouth and the occasional transistor radio for information. Comparatively speaking, this neighborhood has been relatively unscathed. We have tanks posted across the valley from us and every now and again they make their way towards our building, but as of yet, it has been quiet, save the occasional outburst of gunfire.Tue, 30 Jul 2002 14:53:51 +0000Catherine Cook3633 at https://electronicintifada.nethttps://electronicintifada.net/content/too-many-images-process-now/3633#comments
